Good morning.

Sunday in Whitewater will be mostly sunny with a high of 28. Sunrise is 7:15 and sunset is 5:00, for 9 hours, 46 minutes of daytime. (For those who need as much daytime as they can get, there’s more of it each day, and sunset is now after 5 PM.) The moon is a waning crescent with 10.1 percent of its visible disk illuminated.

On this day in 1915, an act of Congress establishes the Rocky Mountain National Park.

Man ties to master bagpipes in an hour… here’s what happened:

From bagpipes to kilts and tartans, we traveled to Edinburgh in preparation for Burns night to explore one of Scotland’s most iconic instruments: the bagpipes. Our first stop was Kilberry Bagpipes, the last workshop making bagpipes by hand and our producer Stuart gives a crash-course lesson in playing the pipes. Next we went to Gordon Nicolson Kiltmakers, the masters of Scotland’s national dress, they even found Stuart a kilt in his family’s tartan.

A day in the pool…

Wisconsin Life | At Waxxy Poodle, vinyl records spin back to life:

Dave Eck’s passion for vinyl began at Madison record stores as a teenager. That early love of music led to a career mastering records for major artists. Now he’s brought vinyl manufacturing back to Wisconsin, opening Waxxy Poodle in Cross Plains — the state’s first record pressing facility in nearly 100 years, producing thousands of records daily.
